I’m sure I have zero readers left after not posting for 10 days. After I  posted on January 1, I got some rather sad news from my best friend, Jenny. Her husband, Phil went into renal failure on New Years Eve. Phil has been battling a recurrence of colon cancer since July and the with this diagnosis, he was given days to live. Right now, they are at home and Jenny and their family are right by his side as he walks through the final days of his life. Jenny is my age and Phil is 44.  I cannot imagine the pain that she is going through. I don’t know how she is still on her feet, but she, is and is being the rock that is holding her family together. I cannot get to Maryland because of work but I am keeping in contact with her though text messages and a phone call when she gets a minute.  Please pray for their families. It’s been rough and will get worse before it begins to get better.

I have so much other stuff to share, including an upcoming trip home…finally, but that will have to wait for another post. Go hug your loved ones for me, and for Jenny.
